The case of Daniel‐Rivera v. Keiser University has come to a close after a U.S. magistrate recommended that Keiser pay $156,000 in attorneys' fees and $34,000 in costs. Earlier, a federal jury decided that Keiser intentionally discriminated against a deaf student by denying her admission to the Keiser radiology technician program, and the jury awarded the student $75,000. Neither side has appealed ( Daniel‐Rivera v. Everglades College, d/b/a Keiser University , Case No. 0:16.‐cv‐60044‐WPD). Details of the case highlight how you can save time and money for your institution by being proactive about resolving complaints alleging disability discrimination.
